Okay so I have had "developments" with this sodding bike now... turns out the frame number given seems spurious (possibly)... I managed to find the original seller (3 months ago his sale was listed). Decided to contact him as I'm having unforeseen registration issues... DVLA Wanted the registration number of the bike, so called the bloke and he said :quote: Nah mate I didn't sell off the bike with a V5 at all :end quote: Sooooo this fat turd has sold me a bike he actually didn't have any paperwork for as I've been on the blower to DVLA today and explained my case as he'd given me a frame number... Now I know (I know 100%!) he has a "donor" bike and I'm curious as…

Ok, so I've been looking into volunteering in my spare time and came across the national Association of Blood Bikes http://www.bloodbikes.org.uk/ . The problem is that there are no groups set up in my area, the nearest are the White Knights in Yorkshire afaik. And after talking to someone at NABB, I understand that there are several people locally that would volunteer, but there is no group formed yet. I'm researching this elsewhere, but thought i would ask this here also. So my questions so far are. Does anyone have any experience of volunteering in a similar role? If so, what was/is your experience like? Does anyone know what is entailed in setting up a …

What is the best way of removing it without damaging the disc brake itself? I don't have a spare key as i got it with the bike when I bought it... Help!

hello i know its not a bike or a Yamaha but its still an engine and the theory is still the same, cant seem to find anything on the matter so i thought id try here. (id understand if no one replies) right, iv got a go-kart engine its a honda gx 160 clone (5.5hp) and yes iv looked on google for tuning tips and safe to say iv managed to do most of them! iv de-governed the engine and put stronger valve spring in so it revs higher (5000rpm), iv put a free flow air filter on and a straight through exhaust, and might be putting a mikuni carb on (a spare xvs dragstar carb with smaller jets ) now iv read up about ignition timing for this engine but i get confu…

How do i measure properly without buying a helmet to big or to small again or is it just better to go the shop? c: best place to buy d: what recommendations for a he…
